ReShade does not natively have a “long exposure” switch. The effect is hacked via:
If the "Highlight Intensity" is too high, the accumulated light will wash out the image. Lower the ISO or the Highlight slider within the shader settings.
Includes a "Highlight Boost" slider, allowing bright elements (like light trails) to remain visible even when the background is averaged out. 2. METEOR Long Exposure (by Marty’s Mods) reshade long exposure exclusive
“Long exposure exclusive,” she muttered, the wind stealing her voice. “He meant it literally.”
“Dad?” she said, her voice cracking. “Do you remember that solar system? The one with the crooked Saturn?” ReShade does not natively have a “long exposure” switch
Use a "Photo Mode" or "Free-cam" to ensure the camera doesn't nudge. Low Speed, High Frames:
Whether your target scene has or slow-moving elements “He meant it literally
It usually includes a "freeze" or "capture" button. Once triggered, the game continues to run in the background (or you can move the camera if using a camera mod) to build the exposure. Alpha-Testing & Access:
Increase this value. Higher numbers mean the shader remembers more past frames, creating a longer "exposure."
An exclusive community-developed shader that mimics a camera shutter. It allows you to start and stop the exposure manually with a hotkey, giving you precise control over exactly how much motion is captured in your frame. 3. Cinematic Blur / MotionBlur (Advanced Variants)
A significant technical hurdle is frame rate. Real motion blur is shutter-speed dependent. In Reshade, the quality of a long exposure trail is often tied to the game's frame rate. "Exclusive" presets often include specific configuration files ( .ini ) that set specific curve values to make the effect look consistent whether the user is running at 30fps or 144fps.
